In some short while artful will enter the final beta freeze, with a goal of releasing the Final Beta images hopefully sometime late Thursday. The link to the milestone can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-17.10-beta
The queue freeze will last from now until final release in October, which means that all seeded packages will now need a spot-check and review in the queue from a release team member before they are let into the archive. As with the previous releases, we have a bot in place that will accept uploads that are unseeded and don't affect images. Don't take this as an open invitation to break Feature Freeze on those components, this is just to reduce the burden on the release team, so we only review the uploads that need very serious consideration. If you find the bot is blocking an upload that you think should have been auto-accepted, let us know and we'll sort it out. I will be spinning a set of beta candidates later today (once I figure everything out) which I encourage people to get to testing ASAP for their favourite flavour(s) as they come off the line. Happy bug-hunting from now until the final release, and please do help out and test ISOs, netboot, etc, where you can and let us know what's broken in your environment(s). Be sure to target any milestone relevant bugs to the beta milestone whenever needed.
